Serena Williams and Venus Williams are two legendary names in the history of tennis. Even after Serena’s retirement, the impact she has had on tennis players and her fans is incredible. And the same goes for Venus Williams as well. Partly it is because of their impeccable skills, but it is also because of the mentoring they received as children.

Even when they were very young, barely teenagers, they always had the same level of confidence. A recent post online revealed how the immense confidence the two sisters had in themselves turned out in their favor, making them role models to millions.
